Palazzo Tornabuoni Brochure.Pdf Florence is one of those rare places where the past and present live side by side. The graceful piazze, palaces, bell towers and fortresses of the Renaissance are now home to a thriving and exciting international city. In the same streets that nurtured the genius of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, new Florentine artisans, designers and artists continue to impress the world with their ravishing creations. THE ULTIMATE FLORENTINE PALAZZO Palazzo Tornabuoni, whose origins date back to the fifteenth century, is one of the most important privately owned Renaissance palaces in Florence. Once home to Pope Leo XI and the Medici family, the Palazzo hosted the world’s first opera performance, whenDafne , composed by Jacopo Peri, was staged in the Salone delle Muse. A meticulous four-year restoration has returned Palazzo Tornabuoni to its original splendour. Diverse and rich decorative elements born from five centuries of history, including elaborate stucco work, frescoes and statues have been seamlessly interwoven with the finest modern comforts and conveniences to create elegant and contemporary homes. Owners of Palazzo Tornabuoni will enjoy a unique lifestyle rooted in centuries of history and culture. They will dwell in the heart of one of Italy’s most stylish cities, and come into contact with a vibrant social and cultural scene that tourists rarely glimpse. Palazzo Tornabuoni’s position, at the corner of Via Tornabuoni and Via Strozzi, places it in the historical centre of this exquisite small city and at the heart of its contemporary life. One of Florence’s most aristocratic city-centre streets, via Tornabuoni is today the vibrant Tuscan city’s ‘fashion central’, lined with stylish boutiques. Top fashion names, from Bulgari and Ferragamo to Gucci and Prada, are housed in the grand palaces that line this elegant thoroughfare. And for those who prefer clothing that is ‘made to measure’, custom-made shops are a thriving business in Florence and a benchmark of Florentine style. A few steps away from Palazzo Tornabuoni you will discover the artisans that still define the Florentine way of life. Intagliatori still use the same tools that their great grandfathers used to carve pieces of oak and beech into whimsical shapes to adorn your home.

A MAGNIFIcENT HISTORY Over the centuries, each generation has enriched the Palace with magnificent frescoes and statuary, creating the glorious historical residence that owners enjoy today. Some of the most splendid artworks date from the sixteenth century, when the Palazzo became the property of Alessandro de’Medici, the future Pope Leo XI. As Archbishop of Florence, Alessandro transformed the Palazzo into his seat of power, commissioning leading artists of the day to decorate its grand halls. At the end of the sixteenth century the Corsi family acquired Palazzo Tornabuoni. During the following century and a half they continued to adorn and improve the Palazzo, unifying its diverse architectural styles as well as commissioning new decorative elements. Many of the hand carved marble mantelpieces, as well as the delicate stucco work framing the frescoes, date from this time. A RESTORATION TRIUMPH A meticulous four-year restoration has returned the Palace to the splendour of its Renaissance origins. At the same time, the Palace’s infrastructure has been updated to offer the most hi-tech, yet unobtrusive, levels of comfort, style and convenience.

  • 1 Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the Universi
    Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Visual Culture In March 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The church of Santo Spirito in Florence is universally accepted as one of the architectural works of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446). It is nevertheless surprising that contrary to such buildings as San Lorenzo or the Old Sacristy, the church has received relatively little scholarly attention. Most scholarship continues to rely upon the testimony of Brunelleschi’s earliest biographer, Antonio di Tuccio Manetti, to establish an administrative and artistic initiation date for the project in the middle of Brunelleschi’s career, around 1428. Through an exhaustive analysis of the biographer’s account, and subsequent comparison to the extant documentary evidence from the period, I have been able to establish that construction actually began at a considerably later date, around 1440. It is specifically during the two and half decades after Brunelleschi’s death in 1446 that very little is known about the proceedings of the project. A largely unpublished archival source which records the machinations of the Opera (works committee) of Santo Spirito from 1446-1461, sheds considerable light on the progress of construction during this period, as well as on the role of the Opera in the realization of the church.

  • Passaporto Per Denaro E Bellezza Passport to Money and Beauty Passaporto Per Denaro E Bellezza
    PASSAPORTO PER DENARO E BELLEZZA PASSPORT TO MONEY AND BEAUTY PASSAPORTO PER DENARO E BELLEZZA Le banche rappresentano una parte talmente importante del mondo moderno che è impossibile immaginarlo senza di esse; tuttavia sono un’invenzione relativamente recente, nata dalla crescente mobilità e dal commercio sviluppatosi a partire dalla fne del XII secolo. Le grandi famiglie toscane di mercanti-banchieri – Bardi, Peruzzi e, molto più tardi i Medici – hanno lasciato durevoli testimonianze del proprio talento in campo fnanziario, non solo accumulando enormi fortune, ma traducendole in opere d’arte che sono divenute parte del patrimonio culturale mondiale. La più antica banca al mondo ancora operante – il Monte dei Paschi – fu fondata a Siena nel 1472, solo 25 anni prima dei “roghi delle vanità” del predicatore integralista Savonarola, per i quali i forentini consegnarono per essere bruciate le “cose vane” preziose come gioielli, specchi e opere d’arte possedute. Denaro e Bellezza. I banchieri, Botticelli e il rogo delle vanità non è una mostra su un singolo artista, sebbene si chiuda con molti dipinti di Botticelli e presti particolare attenzione all’infuenza esercitata su di lui da Savonarola. È qualcosa di anche più interessante: una mostra sulla nascita in Toscana del moderno sistema bancario. James M. Bradburne PASSPORT TO MONEY AND BEAUTY Banks are such an important part of the modern world that it is almost impossible to imagine the world without them. Nevertheless, banks are a relatively recent invention, born from increased mobility and growing European trade in the late 12th century. The great Tuscan banking families—the Bardi, the Peruzzi, and of course much later, the Medici—created lasting monuments to their fnancial ingenuity, not only by amassing vast fortunes, but by translating those fortunes into the works of art that have become a part of the world’s cultural heritage.

  • Santo Spirito Neighborhood Crawl
    florence for free free walks and work-arounds for rich italian adventures neighborhood crawl: santo spirito Distance: 2 km (about 1.2 miles) Time: 25 minute walk in total, plus time (up to a day!) for leisurely exploring Cost: $0 Directions: Start out by crossing the Ponte Vecchio. At the bridge’s end, walk straight ahead, looking for a small piazza on your left with a church tucked in the back corner (Sant Felicita). Venture further down Via de’ Guicciardini, past Palazzo Pitti, onto Via Romana, until you reach Via del Campuccio. Turn right, and then make the next right again at Via Caldaie. Walk up to Santo Spirito, head out at the far right of the piazza and turn left on Via Maggio. Walk down to St. Mark’s Church, cross the street and take that right on Via dei Vellutini down to Piazza della Passera. Take Via dello Sprone back out and follow it until you reach Ponte Santa Trinita. Places to see: • Santa Felicita – One of the oldest worship sites in the city, although the current structure mostly dates back to the 18th century. Head here when open in the early morning and venture in under the Vasari Corridor (the arch-shaped interruption in the church’s facade), which also doubled as a private balcony the Medici could worship from without mingling with ordinary plebs. The inside is certainly inspired by the style of Renaissance heavyweight Brunelleschi – the man who solved the riddle of the cathedral dome. He even designed the chapel immediately to the entrance’s right, today known as the Capponi Chapel, which features two masterpieces by Mannerist favorite Jacopo Pontormo.

  • The Corsini Collection: a Window on Renaissance Florence Exhibition Labels
    The Corsini Collection: A Window on Renaissance Florence Exhibition labels © Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, 2017 Reproduction in part or in whole of this document is prohibited without express written permission. The Corsini Family Members of the Corsini family settled in Florence in the middle of the 13th century, attaining leading roles in government, the law, trade and banking. During that time, the Republic of Florence became one of the mercantile and financial centres in the Western world. Along with other leading families, the Corsini name was interwoven with that of the powerful Medici until 1737, when the Medici line came to an end. The Corsini family can also claim illustrious members within the Catholic Church, including their family saint, Andrea Corsini, three cardinals and Pope Clement XII. Filippo Corsini was created Count Palatine in 1371 by the Emperor Charles IV, and in 1348 Tommaso Corsini encouraged the foundation of the Studio Fiorentino, the University of Florence. The family’s history is interwoven with that of the city and its citizens‚ politically, culturally and intellectually. Between 1650 and 1728, the family constructed what is the principal baroque edifice in the city, and their remarkable collection of Renaissance and Baroque art remains on display in Palazzo Corsini today. The Corsini Collection: A Window on Renaissance Florence paints a rare glimpse of family life and loyalties, their devotion to the city, and their place within Florence’s magnificent cultural heritage. Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is delighted that the Corsini family have generously allowed some of their treasures to travel so far from home.
